New Restaurants Opening in Tampa Bay: Part 1

Feeling tired of the same old culinary experiences? Discovering new flavors is one of the greatest joys in life, and there are plenty of restaurants in Tampa Bay that are opening soon for you to try out. In fact, there are so many we’re breaking this article into two parts! Check out our Part 1 recommendations down below!

The Battery

While exquisite drinks and mouth-watering food are already tantalizing incentives to visit The Battery, the restaurant’s location on Sparkman Wharf also provides an unrivaled atmosphere. Located at Tampa’s waterfront, The Battery is the perfect place to take in the sunset on the weekend with a glass of fine bourbon in hand.

Ponte Tampa

If you’re a fan of Olivia or On Swann in Hyde Park, Ponte Tampa is a must visit location when it opens in Midtown in late 2021. The latest culinary venture from renowned culinary master Christ Ponte, Ponte Tampa is a must-visit location if you enjoy Modern American cuisine or are a fan of any of Ponte’s other esteemed restaurants.

Shake Shack

For anyone looking for a more casual experience (and are obsessed with sniffing out the best milkshakes in town) Shake Shack has got you covered. A classic burger joint recently opened in Midtown, you can expect burgers, hotdogs, frozen custard, and more. Best of all, if you use the Shack App, you can order ahead for pickup or delivery!

As you’ve probably noticed, two out of three of these new restaurants are opening at the Midtown Tampa Development. Aiming to become the hub for all your future outings, Midtown hosts a plethora of restaurants and events, not to mention the Midtown Lake & Watercourse Trail and the puppy park! If you get the chance, stop by Midtown in Tampa Bay and see what exciting new experiences it has to offer.
